This happens at the store I work at. We turn them away--just the way it is. People who've never been on the other side of this don't get it. Everyone is so entitled these days. 🙄

@SW-User Entitled to shop while the shop is open... How terrible.

And yes, I've worked in retail too.

@Quizzical Entitled knowing that what they want will go past closing time and not thinking of the workers who will have to stay past the time they get paid. Obviously it's different if what they want will only take a minute. I don't know any store that only ceases any operations the second the doors close. They start shutting things down before that. There's a reason food establishments stop serving certain things after a certain time. That's why we lock the bathrooms several minutes before closing time too. We don't want someone going in there at 7:59 and taking 15 minutes.

@SW-User When folks turn up at the last minute it's not usually for a 15 minute shop, it's because they have forgotten an item and need it quickly.
